Product Description
INSPIRE 404 Performance Polymer is a propylene-based resin intended for use in thermoforming applications where exceptional stiffness, clarity and heat resistance is desired. The high stiffness of the resin may allow for the potential to down gauge and reduce part weight. The product is well suited for thin wall containers, serviceware and closure applications such as clear drink cups, deli containers, take-out containers, bowls and clear lids.

Main Characteristics
  • Contains a nucleating agent
  • Excellent balance of stiffness and clarity
  • Superior heat resistance over conventional polypropylene
  • Complies with U.S. FDA FCN 909
  • Canadian HPFB with Limitations
  • Consult the regulations for complete details.
